YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!

My Jebao last for 4mth then leak a small pool of water bcos of the wire seal. Lucky I know how to diy and apply silicon seal to it. But no time to change back.

My canister history 7 yrs:

1. Fulval - good but many LFS dun sell and cannot find parts. Give to friend

2. Another from china - okay until the connector gave way and no parts for china product.

3. Jebao - 4 mth wire seal leak, repaired

4. Azoo - to replace the Jebao temporary, pianz faulty product, major leak, send back to replace.

5. Dophin - Dun want the Azoo and insist on a different brand. Running 2 weeks, lots of air coming out. nvr mind, what the hack.
